I had friends who kept insisting I watch this. I tried once and failed. They prodded me to just keep going because it gets better. So I forced myself through 2 seasons. I would rather have jumped off a bridge than ever see another second of it. I wasn’t just indifferent to it. I actively disliked it. I have watched a lot of questionably bad shows and enjoyed them (The Single Guy, Platypus Man). I love Eugene and O’Hara as well. But this, this I could not do, even for my closest friends.
The most positive thing I can say about it, is that they didn’t go hard into “fish out of water” territory. They seemed relatively capable instead of being like.. “Rich person doesn’t understand how to use a vending machine” type thing. Fish out of water stories are fine, but so many times they also make them idiots and I find that tiresome. This show mostly avoided that in the time I watched. - Carlton > On Sep 24, 2020, at 7:48 PM, PGage <[email protected]> wrote: > > You almost always dislike shows ai like, so no predictions.
